How do I attach this product to my tripod? The screw on the tripod seem bigger than the hole for the rail.

Hi there, 35mm camera bodies accept a 1/4" diameter, 20 thread-count screw while most tripod heads attach to the tripod column with a 3/8" diameter, 16 thread-count screw. If you are mounting the rail directly on the column, you need to get an adapter 3/8" to 1/4" which you find on Amazon for a few dollars. Have fun, Moreno

Timothy, I have no problem attaching the Rail 4 Fotodiox to the tripod's screw. There are two holes at the base plate that can be used equally to connect the rail to it.You may want to check and make sure that it will fit on another tripod just in case the one you are using now is not working properly. Make sure you attach the rail first, then the camera to it.

Contact the maker "J. B. Camera designs" he has some 'beta' screws that will solve your problem. I contacted him, he asked for my mailing address and sent me two replacement screws. Works great on a tripod now.Hamish

On second thought, I don't think it is compatible with your tripod, because it won't extend far enough for you to use it. Also I think the feet on your tripod are too big for it.

There is a bolt threaded for a standard camera mount. I have purchased an adapter to attach my tripod head because it has very limited use with the camera attached directly to the dolly.

Your tripod should come with a base that has a 1/4" threaded stud/bolt in it to attach to the bottom of a camera. The bottom of the movie mount has the 1/4" threaded insert to receive that stud/bolt.You shouldn't need anything more.

There is a hole on the bottom of the slider. My tripod came with a base plate that I attached to the slider and that's how I attached it to my tripod. I hope that helps.

Its a standard 1/4"-20tpi screw you'd find in most tripods. Theres also a hole below the cage to mount a tripod plate into it.

the slider has standard tripod mount threads at both ends and in the center underside of the rail. there are two standard thread sizes for tripods though, 1/4-20 and a larger (3/8"?). if your tripod threads do not match, you can get thread adapters, which are pretty cheap.i recommend two tripods if you are using a heavy dslr, or one large tripod with a wide base

From what I understand it is not tripod ready, and that is a design flaw. One reviewer mentioned that he had drilled and tapped a section of the mount for a tripod, but that may not be an option for you unless you are handy with tools.

Look at the screw and you will see that there is an outside ring that is spring loaded and an inner post. If you push down on the outer ring it will reveal the inner post that should fit the smaller screw hole on your camera. Hope this helps.

I cannot see how the unit itself attaches to a tripod.....maybe I am not understanding the question.........

It was a long time ago that I bought that thing and then returned it. I don't know what to tell you. They probably forgot to include velcro or holes. You're much better off just buying tripods and using lights from the hardware store. See youtube for DIY instructions. That's what I did and it works fine. Good luck.

Hello Brian, The threads for the tripod mount are standardized across all devices unless specifically stated by the manufacturer. The tripod should fit perfectly. If not, you may always arrange to return it to the seller. If you have any questions about the return policy, please read the return policies for more details.

Joe, best I can do is what I've stated previously. Screw the grip to camera platform on your tripod.

Sorry I can not help you with the camera mount screw, but I have the similar problem with one of the leg section rings. On my second use (the first use was in my house to try it out-the next day in the field) the ring seems stripped and the leg keeps collapsing Because it was an outdoor use in the sand, the company was not supportive of my report of damaged/inferior product.

Not quite a thumb screw, but the concept is the same. Turn the ranching handle about a quarter turn counter clock wise (carefully if something is mounted there) and slide the mount to where you want it. The same is true for the tripod mount. Again, hold on to anything you have mounted so it doesn't spin.Hope this helps,Dave

It says it can be used with a tripod, but I could not see anyway I could attach it to mine.
